Federation Square - Atrium

The Atrium Flinders Street entrance, Federation Square.

An interesting entrance through the fractal facade.

Federation Square was designed by Lab architecture studio in conjunction with Bates Smart as a response to a design competition for a new civic centre for Melbourne. Completed in 2002, Federation Square was once deemed impossible to build due to its location, proportions and of course its design.
